Provision of APC Redaction Tool

1. The current approach to meeting legislative demands on disclosures is inefficient resulting in a need to improve processes that enable delivery of Subject Access Requests (SAR) making them compliant with mandated timelines for response. Redaction of documents in hard(paper) and electronic copy is very manpower intensive which adds significant delay to meeting the deadlines. Reducing the time to conduct redaction is viewed as the priority action that can deliver greatest improvement to the SAR process. Failure to meet their legislative timelines could result in serious reputational damage and significant financial penalties for non-compliance with DPA18. APC Glasgow is currently failing to meet the legislative timelines and the Army and/or MOD could face Information Commission Office (ICO) penalties and special measures.
